Jesus! What's she got against garden implements? I mean, okay, they're not as smart as a rake or industrious as a trowel, but stupid? That's hardly fair...

Fun. - Some Nights

I actually really enjoyed Aim and Ignite and all of Nate's work with The Format, but this album was severely disappointing, so much unnecessary autotune, formulaic, boring songs and Nate's worst lyrics by far. Shame.

Autotune is a major disease in the music scene.

Funny, we agree on something.

Auto-tune used for the sake of it is a bunch of toss, but I have no problem with it if it enhances the sound of a track. I would welcome it actually.

Decent band, but horrible whinny vocals. The singing is so over the top and dramatic, that it completely overwhelms the band, so if there's some great riffs here, you can't hear them.

I totally agree. I haven't heard that particular album, but I downloaded one of their other releases a few months ago and was completely turned off by the cheeseball vocals.

He does a really lame impersonation of the dude in Protest The Hero. Really wretched.

Autotune was meant to be used to correct your use, not use it all of the time. Give credit to T-Pain. He is the one who made it useable on regular basis.
